Looking for something?

Baiburuk Bank "It's a great big world...with a crappiest bank!"

With response to Lulu asking why i hate Baiduri so much? Personally i've had so much issues with that bank especially with their services. That's the first thing. Try doing some transactions with them and i can assure you that none of them smile nor do they greet you. That's N-O-N-E! So much for 'world class service'. And for most of the Baiduri Bank i go to, it's always during peak hours that 1 and/or 2 out of counters are open. Consider yourself very lucky to find once or twice all counters open during peak hours because up till date, i've never actually did.

Last week was the worst that could've ever happened. I went and cashed out my company's cheque for my workers' salary and guess what? They've actually short changed me a total of $4,500! Not $45 you know, it's freakin' $4,500! That's RM$10,035 which is equivalent to 1,127 plates of Ikea Swedish Meatballs in KL!

Gosh i just realized how much i missed them!

For your information, the total amount the i had to cash out was around $25,000 and you do not expect me to stand at the counter and count notes by notes there right? Plus, banks should be more accurate when it come to money since they're the one with the gadgets. I just want the money, not the counting.

In some sense, i'd say i'm really lucky that i was able to retrieve back the missing $4,500 otherwise, it might be coming out of my own pocket. Stupid bank for almost robbing me off my $4,500. Pffsh!

[Update 17Jan2018] - Wow. To think that 8 years later, this scam is still going on as I'm still getting the odd notifications every now and then with comments on this post. TLDR: If you guys stumble upon this random site because of the APL*ITUNES 866-71-2-7753 charge on your credit/debit card, call your bank immediately and report it as a fraud.

If you have an iTunes account and have any bank cards associated with it, you might wanna beware. I normally check my bank accounts every now and then just to be sure that there's nothing fishy going on in there and of course at the same time, just like many of you *secretly* hoping that someone might accidentally transfer $1 million to my account as well. I've had a few cases of credit card frauds happening and so far, banks have been very cooperative with disputing transactions and issuing me a new card (especially my local bank, SCB Brunei. Well done!).
So today, i checked one of my overseas bank account and found out that i…

Still somewhat on a high over last night's event. My former school, St Andrew's School celebrated their 60 years anniversary in Brunei. It's quite a milestone especially for a private school in Brunei that started with only 70 students at a church.

And what made the event even more special was the fact that we got the opportunity to take a class photo with the His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Sarah who was our classmate for a good six years during our times at St Andrew's School. How about it happened is definitely something worth mentioning.

I think I can safely assume all of us weren't actually planning on attending the event. I feel it's been 14 years since we left school, it's still somewhat too 'early' for any form of reunion. Plus, I still see a few of my classmates and teachers around and have many of them on social media so it doesn't really feel like we've actually lost touch. At least that's…

Re-posting this from my status update on Facebook which I shared the other day on a rather unique encounter.

-- On my way to my car after work today (while doing my Pokestop runs) an Indian fella stopped me on my track and said "You're very lucky. You have 3 lines on your forehead I can see that is luck". That obviously stopped me for a bit as he approached me and said "You wanna know how I know? I can tell people's fortune. You wanna know your fortune?" Curious me nodded yes while my brain let out a big sigh and told me "That's it, you're gonna fall for this somehow." This "fortune teller" proceeds to make small talks about how I'm happy but I'm only 40% happy while scribbling on his notepad discreetly. He then crumpled up the paper and made me hold it in my first and said "What I wrote in there, you don't know right?" (cues my no shit, Sherlock! moment)
Then he started asking me to pick a number between 1 to…
